Since you cash in and out during the same session, I don't think the exchange rate means anything (it's a wash)... Just consider yourself buying chips or units and then playing with those. Whether $200 US gets you 50 units, or 500 units, it doesn't matter. See what I mean?

Rake would all be relative. They would rake .25 pounts on a 5 pound pot (larger pot), or $0.25 on a $5 pot (smaller pot).

Elementary my dear Watson.

I guess the rate of exchange is roughly 2:1, so a 5/10 game in lbs is like a $2.50/$5.00 game.

Have you guys ever been playing on InerPoker and been asked to prop? I had a pop up screen come up offering me $13 an hour to start 5/10 european table.

[GeoffM]

Shabi, this should help you out.

[junYUN]

lol thats an odd question..

[Talking Poker]

Yes, I have been asked to prop, but it's always games I'm not interested in, so I've always had to turn it down...

Edit: As for your exchange rates, I don't know if you mean pounds or Euros, but I think you're doing your math backwards.

Again, it doesn't matter though. Sit down and it will tell you exactly how many US$ are required to cover the buy in you are choosing.

[junYUN]

no the math isnt backwards...pounds are more valued than dollars so you would cut it in half (5/10 pounds = $2.50/$5.00 US)

[robthedlphin]

I think it should be 5/10 pounds= 10/20 US$. Because if a pound is worth $2 (it's more valued) then you would multiply by 2, not divide by 2

[junYUN]

you know what thats true

god i suck

(stop smoking weed plug here)

[PShabi]

me thinks me better stick to USD.

[GeoffM]

Not quite, 1 pound is worth about $0.54. If you used the link I posted you would know this .

Or, you could realize it doesn't matter. If a pound is worth 95 cents or 2 cents, you're still palying with chips. When you cash in and cash out, the conversion is the same, so it's a wash. Sit with the US$ amount you want to play with (however many pounds that may be), and then just play normal poker.

A basic awareness of the exchange rate would be a good idea for game selection (so you know what tables you want to play at), but once you choose a table, the conversion means nothing.
